Artists and collectives from any country are invited to submit a proposal for a fully-funded, two-month residency split between CERN and the Nobel Prize Museum
Collide is an annual residency programme for artists with a distinct interest in science and technology, who have a strong motivation to engage in dialogue with scientists and engineers. The selected artist or collective will immerse themselves in the CERN community in Geneva, fostering meaningful exchanges with scientists, engineers, and staff. This will be followed by a stay at the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm to expand their reflections.
Arts at CERN and the Nobel Prize Museum invite artists to reflect on the impact of science and research in contemporary culture and society. Proposals are encouraged that consider the role of advanced technologies and new scientific paradigms as key forces shaping our world today.
